	HotWombat  +  29925 Sat, 15 May 04 01:52 AM It can mean 'uninterrupted time' with another/others, when you can converse verbally and/or physically without the danger of interruption. A time to get to know each other better. A bonding time with your spouse or child. A time we should all treasure.

	suzi  +  29985 Sat, 15 May 04 12:34 PM qualty time is a relatively new bit of jargon, and it intersts me it reflects our social sense of being "very busy" and needing to mark out relaxation periods or time for our families. This is partly to do with parents who work realising they dont see much of their kids, it also seems to have come out of the divorce rate rising, and some parents not seeing much of their kids for that reason .. and it has spread to other relatioships, not just parent -child suzi
